Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

Robots are useful for exploring and working in space In particular, many robots have been sent to explore

Mars Such robots have usually looked like a box with wheels Though these robots are useful, by their very

nature they are unreliable, extremely expensive, and they break easily Also, they cannot do very many

tasks Because of these problems, scientists have been developing a new and unusual kind of robot.

These new robots move like snakes, so they have been given the name "snakebots."

The way a snake is shaped lets it get into very small spaces, like cracks in rocks It can also push its way

below the ground or climb up different kinds of objects, like high rocks and trees Such abilities account for

the usefulness of a robot designed like a snake A snakebot would be able to do these things, too, making it

much more effective than regular robots with wheels, which easily get stuck or fall over Since they can

carry tools, snakebots would be able to work in space, as well They could, for example, help repair the

International Space Station.

But how can such a robot shape be made? A snakebot is built like a Chain made of about thirty parts, or

modules Each module is basically the same in that they all have a small computer and a wheel to aid

movement The large computer in the "head” of the snake makes all of the modules in a snakebot

work together The modular design of the snakebot has many advantages If one module fails, another can be

added easily Snakebot modules can also carry different kinds of tools, as well as cameras Since each

module is actually a robot in itself, one module can work apart from the rest if necessary That is, all the

modules can separate and move on their own, and then later, reconnect back into a larger robot.

Researchers are also trying to develop snakebots made of a special kind of plastic that can change its shape

using electricity, almost like animal muscles Snakebots made with this plastic will be very strong and hard

to break Overall, the snakebot design is much simpler than that of common robots Thus, snakebots will be

much less expensive to build For example, a robot recently sent to Mars cost over a hundred million dollars,

whereas snakebots can cost as little as a few hundred dollars With their versatility and affordability,

snakebots seem to be the wave of the future, at least as far as space robots are concerned.

Question 31: How many robots make a snakebot?

A. There can be any amount B. One C. About thirty D. The reading doesn’t say.

Question 32. What is the purpose of the second paragraph?

A. To explain the versatility and usefulness of snakebots.

B To describe the problems with robots that have wheels.

C To give details of the first successful snakebot.

D To list places where snakebots have already gone.

Question 33. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about the snakebots?

A They can move through myriad difficult areas.

B They are easier to get stuck or fall over than other kinds of robots.

C They are made of over thirty different modules.

D. They are unable to work in space like a regular robot.

Question 34. What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to ?

Question 35. What topic does the passage mainly focus on?

A The mission of the first working snakebot B. What a snakebot looks like and can do.

C Similarities between the old robots and the new ones D. How snakebots were invented.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions.

It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What causesextinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, itmay perish The exact causes of aspecies’death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to aspecies For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food resources may beaffected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Otherspecies may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and utimately, in the death of aspecies

The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses havealso revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time –a mass extinction One ofthe best- known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs andmany other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago,when approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change inthe environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, somethingwere to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop,affecting even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended

to be more intense every 26 million years This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’sorbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative.Some researchers have also speculated thatextinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for noparticular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some ofevolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events
